SEEK, You are right, I wish you weren't. You saw the last newsletter was full of overbought stocks that fulfilled all 'excellent and fundamental criteria, except they were overextended" and the newsletter before had more than a hint of that. That's why I am both long and short. I saw QLGC and LGTO were virtually shouting "Short me" or in my case (buy puts). Its like running through a mine field. It's a stock selector's market where only the strong and oversold will survive. My buy on EXDS was not even planned until before the close or even tomorrow. Then I saw my sell "MARKET" order of EXDS puts go down while the stock was rising up, had I not given a market sell I'd still be holding the puts. Using the same screen I put in an orde for 10 calls in seconds at market. Then there was STMP which has been remarkable and the ones I missed like EXAP etc. I just think we are going to have short, sharp rallies and corrections and to wait for more clarity will keep you from making money.. I'm afraid it could take quite a while for that clarity.

I'm sticking with my own watch lists and 2-3 earnings plays days notbecause they are better than anothers but purely becuase I spend so much time analyzing I'm not afraid to pull the trigger when I need to. My only investment is in money and some stocks that are not overbought. My strategy is to take advantage of the 1-2 day or intraday giants like PHCM, STMP with a QCOM or ENTU here and there. My only regret was that I sold 10 of my 20 puts in EXDS way to soon,although the other 10 were remarkable.. I've made some errors like selling HAUP too soon, but I've not lost capital only profit from those errors. I am very careful and I will never dive head long into any investment.. I use Market Gems, the business for investment, have money market accounts and a medium sized intermediate portfolio that got hit today but should bounce back soon.
